A Life Like Yours

A Life Like Yours is simply a phrase we use to remind us that people with developmental disabilities (DD) want the same things we all want...A HOME of our own,  A meaningful JOB or way we spend our days, and RELATIONSHIPS we value and depend on.  These are the things that make up a good life.

The Arc of Virginia is the statewide advocacy organization made up of people with developmental disabilities, their family members and their allies, who are fighting for A Life Like Yours, for Virginians with DD.
